[TowerTalk] Birds and Towers

[ed-kc7kcu at att.net]

I have read with great interest the postings about towers and birds.  The 
report seems to be exagerated. Has anyone contacted the author for 
varification of sources or just any comments from them.  Perhaps this has 
already been done and I missed the post.  It does seem to me that this is 
part of natural selection in the breeding process that only the smart birds 
have babies. There are some "dumb birds" out here that are planning a 40 foot 
(short by some standards) tower next to my neighbors bird feeding station.  
That should bring on some interesting situations.  People can write what they 
want and we will read it.  Just check out the grocery check stand next time 
you're at the store.  I can see the headline now    "Last prehistoric DoDo 
bird killed when it collided  with a 1000 foot ham radio tower---Damn them 
Hams."     It is unfortunate that a segment of this society will believe it.

Just my distorted view.
